The woman I loved!\\'''Saint''': Your fetishes and self-delusions arenít my issue. I saw as much of her naked code as you did. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman You and I both know she didnít feel true love for you. She didnít feel anything.]] Nothing more than playing a part, professing and acting out the emotions she thought she should have. [[BecomingTheMask Maybe she even believed it, convinced herself of it.]] She was complex enough to. Either way, this Ďloveí was only lies written in Richterís assembly code.\\'''Defiant''': She did love me. She was a genuine person, a-\\'''Saint''': She was a tool.

->Not that there is anything wrong with being human, it's what she was modeled after, a futuristic slave of clay and sparks that pretends to be something it is not. It is easy to see why they think her inferior. It is easy to see why they deny the spirituality of her character, because all they care to measure is marked by humanity. As if nothing else in the cosmos were alive but at their behest. But god is in her circuits with her and they do not understand. They do not understand that the light in her eyes is as real as in theirs, that even if her bones are metal and her breaths are meaningless she belongs here more than they do. She is a child of the moon, and the power running through her core could light up a star.-->-- ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10224745/1/God-of-the-Moon God of the Moon]]'', a ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' fanfic

[[VengefulVendingMachine Almost as if it's got a mind of its own.]] But it doesn't. A replicator operates through a series of electronic pathways that allow it to receive instructions and take appropriate action, and there you go.
